Ilga Leja Kauni Messenger Bag Felted Knitting Pattern

Ilga Leja Kauni Messenger Bag Felted Knitting Pattern

Combine the gradual striping sequence Kauni Effektgarn Yarn with the geometric construction of a messenger bag and you will have a one-of-a-kind carry-all. Knit in three separate pieces that are then pieced together and felted in the washing machine, this satchel is the perfect size for your everyday needs. Large enough to carry a laptop computer or your library books, without being oversized. Kauni Effekt 8/2 is held tripled using the Navajo Triple-Ply Technique. This technique is fully described (with detailed photos) in the pattern instructions.

Felted bag measures: 18 x 15" with flap closed, not including strap

You will need:

• 3-4 skeins Kauni Effektgarn Yarn or 1968 yards fingering weight yarn suitable for felting
• Size US 10.5 needles
